Fashionable in Rainy Chicago

{Myself & Whitney in Chicago}

I traveled to my hometown of Chicago last week. It was great seeing family and just taking a much needed break from the craziness of my fabulous life. While I was away I managed to check out from work and disconnect for a bit. I did get a chance to meet up with Whitney from Fauxshionable.com and finally meet in person.

She's was an absolute doll as I expected. We bonded over fashion, our Midwestern backgrounds and just general girl talk. Of course the one evening we decided to meet up had to be pouring rain. Thankfully there was a Burberry close by to help me stay stylish in the rain! Some of you may think I'm crazy for spending money on a Burberry umbrella, but let me tell you they are the best you can buy. They never flip inside-out in the wind and I've been in some windy, rainy situations!

Go check out Whitney's site...she so is so creative with her outfit posts and I think we will be seeing a lot more of her in this industry! Looking forward to having her out here on the West Coast sometime!
